Some time ago the newspaper British Australasian published a challenge to New South Wales to accept 500 agricultural-skilled immigrants, with the understanding that the Government would guarantee every person l-*nd or employment upon arrival. Mr Carruthers, the Premier, despatched telegraphic Instructions to Mr Coghlan, the Agent-General,on September 20th, to aocej-t the challenge. On November 9th the Premier reopived a letter from the Agent-General, in which tbe'jwriter stated that he had invited the erlitor of the journal in question to publish tbe terms of the cabla message. Thi?, Mr Ooghlan added, had not beeu done, and uj communication had been received friHi the paper. The only inference the Agont General could draw wad that the challenge had keeu made for the purposo of sensationalism. The Premier states that an average of about 60 im migrants are airiving per wfeek, in additiou to a number wlin enme to tbo State on the nomination of friends resident there. Altogether aliout 300 immigrants arrive per month, as compared with an average of 25 per month during las'; year.

Madden, K.C.M.G.. L.L.D., in the Supreme Court, at .Melbourne, the prosecution showed:—• 1. That Sander and Sons' Pure Volatile Eucalypti Extract contains all medical constituents of tho eucalypti, in a highly refined and pnre form. 2. That it is much move powerfully healing (antiseptic) than ordinary eucalyptus preparations. 3. That it docs not depress the 'heart like j ordinary eucalyptus preparations. 4. That it, contains no harmful ingreiients, and 5. That it is highly commended by many authorities for tho last 30 years as a safe, ; reliable and effectives remedy.

A MOTHER OF TWEI.VE. "About four years ago," writes Mrs E. E. Warneminde, North Pines, (Q), "my little boy, then about five weeks old, had a severe attack of diarrhoea, and though I w»3 giving him the medicine prescribed he did uot to get any better. I had seen in the papers that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy had cured eases similar to his, so'l thought I would give it a trial. To my great relief he showed improvement after the first dose and it only took a couple of doses to completely cure my infant. lam a mother of twelve children, and after my experience I can safely recommend it."

The worst of the dyspeptic is that he does not realise his own meanness. HiR world is eatixely out of perspective. A man is only as strong as bis stomach. When the stomach is diseased all the other organs suffer. Dr Sheldon's Digestive Tabules • are tho sufferer's tree of life. They will cur<3 him and bring him health and happiness just as certain as he takes them. They are sure beoause they are a natural remedy, and contain- exactly the same chemical properties as the digestive fluids in the stomach. For sale by H. E.
